Lyrically the song follows the theme of cops and guns, but Brian has gone on the record saying the lyrics are a series of disjointed images meant to be sung at high speed. Before the band gave this song a formal recording treatment, they had been playing it live for months. Since they were short on time and budget, the album’s producer chose to not to enhance their sound with production flourishes and overdubs. Instead he went for a live sound to capture their raw energy. Their producer, Nick Lowe, was the right man for the job. Nicknamed “Basher,” he could git-r-done with no wasted time. Brian James wrote “Neat Neat Neat” just before Christmas 1976. “In those days, songs tended to spill out,” he told Uncut magazine. “I was sitting around playing my Gibson SG and the riff came out. I was a big Eddie Cochran fan. Forget Elvis, it was always Eddie for me, and to a lesser extent, Jerry Lee Lewis. I bastardized it a little, and that twanging riff formed the basis of the song and the bassline.” On the song’s guitar solo and riff, James references Chuck Berry & Eddie Cochran heavily. Bass player Captain Sensible added. “I remember when Brian taught me the song. He sat me down and said, ‘It’s Eddie Cochran - with a trust!’ The twist is that the third time you play it, there’s a little lurch, a kink, in the riff.”  In an interview, frontman Dave had this to say about the song: “Like everything at that point, it was a burst of pure energy and excitement. I think of all the albums, that first album - with ‘Neat Neat Neat’ and ‘New Rose’ - perfectly encapsulates what you would see when you came to see the band.” #Music #RockNRoll #PunkRock #TheDamned #DaveVanian #BrianJames #CaptainSensible #RatScabies iiii]; )'」11月26日 19時13分
